This is Asinine!

I generally try to keep my criticism of NASA pretty light, and I think it's accurate to say that, in my opinion, there are few if any government programs that inspire more awe and amazement per dollar... scientifically, that can be expressed as "2A/$." Sure, they've made some dumb mistakes, but who hasn't, and more particularly, what agency- public or private- hasn't? NASA's difficulty is that their mistakes are television and newspaper lead stories. If that were the case with the military, who hide behind "national security" to justify their secrecy, or, let's say, just as one itty-bitty example, the banks, who hide behind proprietary business information and labyrinthine and dishonest accounting to keep their secrets, NASA's Fubars would be dismissed by pretty much everyone.

But NASA, this decision is just plain asinine: NASA criticised for sticking to imperial units. (New Scientist)
